Irish weather forecast: Met Eireann issues advisory as strong winds set to batter Ireland after Storm Atiyah chaos

A weather advisory is in place with Ireland expected to be battered by strong winds tomorrow.

Met Eireann has issued the notice for most of Tuesday, with fears that trees and structures weakened by Storm Atiyah could be damaged even further.

The alert reads: "Tuesday will be a blustery day with strong winds and very gusty conditions associated with an active front moving eastwards across the country.

"Generally, winds will be below warning thresholds but damage to some structures and trees, already weakened from the effects of Storm Atiyah, is possible."

The national forecaster explained that advisories are generally one step below full warnings, and are often used when high winds and high tides generate a "risk of flooding".

The advisory will take effect at 4am on Tuesday, and remain in place until 4pm.

It comes as around 7,000 customers ares still without power following Storm Atiyah.

ESB Networks said crews are working to restore faults as quickly as possible.
